It's not possible to hide your account from public? I tried the search member but it doesn't come up so I assume she might have her profile hidden from public view. furthermore she has hidden her profile totally before but still been able to receive messages.

Hi
I will be migrating the database to a new server, during which time the site will be down. I'll need a couple of hours, I'll leave the mobile site up so you can still read.
Cheers, gav

I love this time of year, with the dark nights and rich atmosphere. I was brought up to shun anything to do with witchcraft and the occult. However, I am deeply spiritual (although I don't like to talk about it, and I try to ignore it), and I am a great fan of myths, legends, and supernatural stories.
I have found myself more drawn to writing darker, chillier pieces lately (although they may not see the light of day). I wrote a couple of poems last year at this time, and I wondered if this time of year provokes your creative streak.
Here are my offerings from last year, in the hopes that others of you might feel encouraged to share your own:

I would love to know if Halloween and the darker aspects of this time of year inspire you. I know there are many sceptics on Lush, as I am myself, in part. I'm not interested in whether ghosts/the supernatural is or isn't real. I want to know if and how it might inspire you to write. Please feel free to share any pieces you might have with this sort of theme.
Thanks.

we got married last december in Seattle... we'd kind of talked it out, and wanted family to be there, and had a date set, but with the holidays (it was right before christmas) and family and work, adding a wedding to it just kind of put the stress level thru the roof, so... ended up just dressing warm, driving down town with a few friends, and doing the deed with no fanfare. really, in retrospect, it wouldn't have made any difference if we'd dressed up, down a party, decorated, or anything - it would have been no more magical then that moment - colors, dresses, that stuff you forget, but you never forget that moment, at least i won't.
btw, had we done it fancy, i'd have gone for it being colorful - no black and white.... my wife looks amazing in red
Coca-Cola executives are just days away from deciding whether or not to speak out against Russia’s brutal new anti-gay laws -- and we need to show them the potential brand damage at stake if they stay silent.
Coke is a major sponsor of next year’s Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. The Olympics should be about celebrating all that is good in humanity. But instead, the Sochi Olympics risks being known for hatred and homophobia, due to a draconian new Russian anti-gay law that criminalizes even coming out of the closet.
So far, Coke has remained silent on Russia’s LGBT crackdown -- that's why we're joining with All Out to show Coke how many people want the company to speak out against this law. If we succeed, we can set off an earthshaking domino effect that pushes other international sponsors to follow.
This is the best shot we have at creating a billion-dollar problem for Russia that can ultimately push it to overturn its horrific anti-gay laws.
Tell Coca-Cola executives meeting this week to condemn Russia’s anti-gay laws and call for their repeal.
Russia's anti-gay law forbids anyone from "promoting non-traditional sexual relations'. In practice, this means anyone can be arrested and jailed for something as simple as coming out, wearing a rainbow pin, or demonstrating in public.
Mega-corporations like Coca-Cola have invested millions in sponsoring the Olympics and billions in their operations in Russia. In effect, Coca-Cola and others are bankrolling the Sochi Olympics. This gives them huge influence on the thinking of the International Olympic Committee and the Russian government.
It’s easy to think we can’t influence what’s happening in an authoritarian regime like President Vladimir Putin’s Russia. But Putin craves legitimacy and glory. If we can get the companies that are paying for his personal public relations exercise to step up and criticize this vicious anti-gay law, then Putin’s Olympic games are in trouble.
As a community, we’ve shown what can be achieved when we work together for LGBT rights. We’ve fought against transphobia in newspapers like the Daily Mail. Together, we persuaded Pepsi to fight against Uganda’s anti-gay law, and we ran a huge campaign to thank Starbucks for supporting marriage equality. We’re defending the most basic of all human rights: the right to life, the right to live free of unfair arrest, and the right to be yourself.

Yes and my fantasies were extremely well formed as they became the basis of a lot of my earliest stories. In fact, I think most of the teaching staff featured in something pretty filthy at one time or another.
